Lemonades FTW (Hour 2)

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us at WFHR.

Nice.

Got your host, James behind the mic.

joined by Melissa.

Hello.

Seth.

Good morning.

Best listeners in radio.

That was fantastic.

We appreciate you being with us, everybody.

We're going to have some fun to kick off the 9 o'clock hour.

We'll also have some entertainment news for you in a little bit.

And we'll get into some other fun things like what's an old person habit you've adopted

because it's actually a very good idea.

I can't wait till that.

I can't wait till that.

I'm so excited.

I'm going to win.

We'll have that one for you a little bit later.

We're going to take points.

Yes, yes.

For everyone that we get, the one the would do we do and see what's the competition with you to.

Always.

Right now, though, we're going to send a shout out to our friends over at the Girl Scouts of America.

Yeah.

A big thank you to them.

Girl Scouts Geeson is wrapped up.

But that doesn't mean that we can't still have some fun and shout them out.

And of course, make plans for next year.

And one of the things we wanted to do, actually, to let you guys look behind the curtain a little bit,

we wanted to do this for a couple of weeks.

Just haven't been able to work it out schedule-wise.

Nope.

Laura is fantastic.

And Laura has done such an amazing job trying to get this to happen.

She has made me now three rounds of these cookies.

So guys, I've already gotten to eat these cookies twice.

Nice, nice.

Last time I took notes.

Oh, goodness.

So I have notes today.

I'm not going to actually talk these so you guys can do the tasting.

I will share my notes with you and talk about you, too.

Okay.

We'll say James from having to chew.

And talk at the same time.

Yep, yep, yep.

So thank you, Laura.

And then I get to take my cookies home and eat the mooters.

I love myself.

I do want to shout out Laura.

She put a lot of thought into this, one of the last time.

And we appreciate her.

And encourage you to check out the great work she's doing over on WIRI.

You can hear her during the afternoons and everything in on the weekend.

12-3.

Great, great, great.

So let's go ahead and dive right in.

And keep in mind, we want audience participation with this.

We want your feedback.

You have a favorite girl scout cookie.

Let us know.

Please call it up and shout it out.

Yeah, we'd love to hear from you, everybody.

715-424-2600.

You can join us through the Civic Media app as well.

And if you're busy, you're running around in the office or something.

Tested in.

Yeah, yeah.

Hit us up that way.

And of course, support our Girl Scouts of America and the great work that they are doing.

You can go to Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes.

Encourage you to go to their web page and find out more.

And when you're purchasing your Girl Scout cookies,

go as local as you can with this one, everybody.

Yep.

And they deliver them, well, I don't know if they do it after the season,

but they'll mail them to you, which is just so cool.

So it is cool.

I don't know what order we do this in.

The order that they're in there, dude, don't take them out.

You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.

I know what I was doing.

Yeah, you're right, you're right.

Laura's got it all set.

Laura has this plan for us, all set.

Awesome.

Let's start off the segment the right way with a phone call.

Good morning, you're on the air.

Good morning.

Good morning.

My favorites have always been, I'm every year,

peanut butter patties and them.

Yum.

Those are both great.

They're both great.

They're both great.

I don't know that there's a bad choice, but boy,

you picked two great ones right there.

Yeah, those are really good ones, sir.

Did you get some this year?

Yes, I did.

I got some.

In the freezer, so I can't eat them all at once.

Yeah.

It's a smart man.

That's right.

That's a smart man.

He knows what he's doing.

Thank you, sir.

We appreciate you.

Have a good morning.

Eric, you too.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I want to send a shout out to Alice.

She let us know the thinments by far.

Yes.

That's always been my favorite, too.

Thank you, Alice.

We appreciate that.

Appreciate all your feedback.

Keep it coming, everybody.

Yeah.

So, Seth, let's go ahead and do this.

So, we're going to start with toast yeas.

Now, this is the one that has been, go ahead, guys.

This is the one that is being discontinued this year.

This is the last year that they have the toast yeas.

My take on it, it's the fun shape.

It's just the right amount of spice.

The frosting is the perfect touch of sweet.

Because it looks like a piece of toast.

It does.

On the top side, and then on the back side,

it's got just a nice little layer of frosting.

A little and not too thick.

Yep.

And it's got the girl scout, like, I don't know, the little,

is that up like a clover?

It's the clover, yeah.

It's one of her symbols, yes.

Is imprinted on the front side.

So, what's your take, Seth?

I think excellent.

This is the first time I've had this.

Yeah, me too.

Very tasty.

It tastes like French toast.

It does.

It really does.

But it's not overwhelming with the amount of cinnamon,

which I can't do much cinnamon, so.

I love this cookie.

That's all you need right there.

It tastes like a spiritual moment over there.

It looks like it's letting bees get the little fuclept.

I forgot how good these were.

It's the only thing that's ever rivaled thin mints for me.

Wow.

And I just, I absolutely, it is your bowl very tasty.

100% on all of the above.

And there's something about the texture of it.

Yeah.

It tastes like when you get like a good piece of French toast.

It really does.

It just hits it right there.

Yeah, it's good.

Now, the next one up is the lemonades.

So, this is a fun, it's got like a flower.

It's a bigger cookie too.

These first two are the biggest ones,

which is how Laura lined them up in the cups.

So, they fit as the cups got bigger going toward the top.

She's so smart.

She's just fantastic.

So, again, this has got a light lemon flavor.

I really like the flower shape,

because it's got the flower imprint on it.

The size is nice.

But I really didn't think it needed the frosting.

Thought the frosting was a little bit too much personally.

Oh, no.

I can't get enough lemon.

Well, there is that.

With sweet stuff.

And I love a very, very tasty.

Maybe a tad on the sweet side.

Maybe a little more lemon.

That's why I said the frosting is just too much for me.

Yeah.

Because I just didn't think it needed it.

I'm sorry.

It takes me forever to chew.

That's okay.

You're fine.

You're fine.

32 times.

One for you.

Yes, yes.

Yes, yes.

My OCD really kicks in a way too.

I got to say it didn't.

I've never had one of these.

Really?

Again.

You cookie for James.

What?

You love cookies.

I really do.

But I'm also very picky.

And there's certain types I've just never tried.

My family loves these.

So, they've been in the house.

Okay.

I am a borderline shocked at how unlemony it tasted.

Really?

I didn't really taste a whole lemon.

You did taste a lemon.

That might be a good thing.

You know, a good balance in everything.

If I want lemon bars or lemon cookies, I want to taste the lemon.

Yeah.

I think you're right.

That's a good point.

It is, really.

Lemon.

If you want sugar, just make sugar cookies, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Up next is caramel delights.

Oh, okay.

So this.

We got these in our house.

We bought them.

Yeah.

I have them too.

Easily what my dad's for.

The description of this is a crisp cookie topped with a caramel toasted coconut and chocolatey strips or stripes.

Now, my take on this is it wasn't enough caramel.

I like the coconut, but I think the coconut flavor is just a little too heavy in this one.

It doesn't taste like the Samoas were the original cookie.

Right.

I think they changed the formula.

They probably did.

When they changed the name.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I've eaten several of these at home already.

Yeah.

Now, but I'm thinking about it actually, it's, I've tasted lots of chocolate.

Yeah.

Less coconut.

And I would actually like more coconut.

Really?

Personally, I think there should be more.

And I didn't taste the caramel at all.

No, I wasn't getting into that either.

No caramel.

Like how, that's the first word in the name you need caramel.

I don't feel like there was a task.

I don't know if there was enough of any of the above.

But that might be the point, might be a balance there.

Yeah.

And I'm always surprised when I don't taste coconut in things when coconut is involved.

Because I notice it right away and almost anything.

I don't really notice a lot of it with that.

Do you like coconut?

Here or there.

I'm talking with your handstands.

Yeah.

That's my problem.

I love peanut colata.

Okay.

So you like coconut.

You like coconut?

Yeah.

A little bit.

But I don't, I don't like eat like a mounds bars.

I can't stand.

I can't stand the mounds bar.

No.

It's probably a texture thing though.

Yes.

100%.

Because they have a very distinct texture.

Yeah.

Love them.

I like them too.

I enjoy both of them.

It's been a long time that I'm going to have to have a mounds today.

All right.

Up next is Adventure Fools.

These are indulgent.

Brownie inspired cookies with caramel flavored cream and a hint of sea salt.

This is another one that I haven't tried that out.

This was the one I was most excited to try.

This is a newer one.

This one came out not too many years ago.

Well, when I tried this, I wished for more brownie flavor.

And I'm not a fan of the texture.

I think it needs more chew.

But that's how I like my brownies.

And you give me something that says this is a brownie cookie.

I'm less than impressed with the crunch.

Very crispy.

Yeah.

Very crispy cookie.

It's a very crispy cookie.

More of a hard kind of cookie.

Right.

I mean, I guess when you're looking at cookies that are packaged that you want to survive the package

they cannot be too chewy.

Right.

Because otherwise they won't survive.

So, but in terms of flavors, I'm getting pretty much everything that's on there.

So, I've had my share of these as well.

So, I like them.

I'm up on them.

They're good.

I mean, they're cookie.

It's not a bad thing.

None of these are bad because they're cookies.

Right.

That is a thin mint masquerading.

Really?

That is a thin mint masquerading.

Well, but you're tasting the mint because of the mint pull away.

Well, so the mint part, I understand, is not there.

But the structure of the cookie is exactly like a thin mint to me.

Oh, I see.

Yeah, it does have the crisp.

Yep.

And I just love a good crunch to a cookie.

All right.

I love that kind of texture.

That is my kind of jam.

That is a good cookie.

It is a good cookie.

It feels like anything I said about the other ones, the balance in this one is perfect.

I feel like they really got that right.

I find it because I am a less, I'm not a big sweet person.

It's just a little bit too sweet.

Okay.

For me, just a little bit on this.

But people who like sweet things, I'm sure that you're just like James, perfect.

Yeah.

Perfect cookie.

Okay.

Well, up next is the perfect cookie, the thin mint.

This is the crispy chocolate wafers dipped in a mint chocolatey coating.

Oh, was your guys is not in the right order?

That's okay.

As mine.

We got it.

You found it.

I thought we were going to wrap on thin mint.

Well, but that's cool.

Mine wasn't a different order.

That's fine.

Conform to me, boys.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Now, my description of this one is just perfection.

This is the perfect cookie for me.

It's always, it's got the right mouth feel.

It's the right texture.

It's the right thickness.

It's the right amount of chocolate.

It's just perfection.

They're too thin.

No.

Because then you got to eat like eight of them.

That's the problem.

No, but see, that's the best part, though, because then you get to eat many.

I don't know if there's a cookie that comes closer to being like chips where you can't eat just one.

Oh, boy.

Then thin mints.

You do ain't wrong, man.

And something I hadn't thought about until just taking a bite of this one.

It's the first thin mint I've had this in probably since last year.

The nostalgia.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that before.

Very strong.

I feel like I almost tasted that right away.

The nostalgia.

That's pretty interesting.

Mm-hmm.

That's a good thing.

It's a very, very, very...

Because it's the, I don't know, for me, it's the ubiquitous Girl Scout cookie.

Yeah, right.

That is the Girl Scout cookie.

The most popular, the one we've, yeah.

Yep.

All right.

So up next, I have short, I wrote it a short, but it's the tree foils or trefoils.

Trefoil.

Trefoil, I believe.

Trefoil.

Trefoils.

Trefoils?

They're just shortbread cookies?

Yeah, it's an iconic shortbread cookie inspired by the original Girl Scout recipe.

This for me is perfection number two.

I love a good shortbread cookie.

Like they're just the butter, flour, and sugar.

And that's all you need in a cookie.

And not sweet.

Right.

It's just a hint of sugar.

It's a hint.

It's shortbread.

It's not supposed to be my mom's favorite by far.

Who was a Girl Scout, by the way, and the shortbread cookie, she loves them.

They're very, very, very favorite.

Just a wonderful cookie.

Yeah.

Just a really good cookie.

Mm-hmm.

It's very good.

Especially if that's your thing, shortbread.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And if it's your thing, it's, it's, get the Girl Scout version because it's yummy.

All right.

So next we're going to do the peanut butter sandwich.

This is a crisp and crunchy oatmeal cookie with creamy peanut butter filling.

Oh, you ate the wrong one, James.

It's okay.

Eat another one.

You did the chocolate one.

But they're both peanut butter.

But yes, the shortbread, the peanut butter sandwich for me is kind of meh.

I'm not, like, probably, sorry, Girl Scouts, have a nutter butter.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Those that's probably the standard, the old nutter butter.

I've not been, I've never, I've never actually been a big fan of any type of peanut butter cookie like this.

Really?

Yeah.

That's not like I won't eat them if they're there.

Right.

But if I have to eat it, or if I have to, like, I'm being forced to eat it.

I'd rather have, like, a peanut butter soft peanut butter cookie that my grandma used to make with, like, where they press it down with a fork.

So you get the Fort and Chris Cross on top and then it's a softer, chewier cookie, which, I mean, I just, I prefer my cookies that way.

But yeah, if you tell me I have to eat a Girl Scout peanut butter sandwich, I'm going to be like, okay.

I'm just going to say no.

No.

I'm not going to say no.

No comment.

No, no.

It's okay.

It's, I'm not a peanut butter and, I don't know, I'm not a peanut butter and cookie guy.

Okay.

So literally my jam.

But you like peanut butter.

Wait, wait, wait.

The peanut butter cookie is not your jam.

Maybe it needs a jam.

Maybe that would fix it.

Once again, we would like to publicly apologize to the audience for a bad humor.

A lot of apologizing today.

A lot of apologizing today.

We know what.

We're just apologetic.

So sorry.

Okay.

Last cookie.

Peanut butter patties.

These are crisp cookies layered with peanut butter and covered with a chocolatey coating.

Now, this one reminds me of my grandma Ruth.

Because my grandma would make every year for Christmas she would make like swear to god a dozen different kinds of cookies.

And she'd bring out the ice cream pills of cookies out of the freezer that she made for months ahead of time to get to Christmas.

And one of my favorites was she'd take Ritz crackers, put peanut butter in the middle, and then dip them in chocolate.

And this tastes like that cookie.

Oh, so you got a personal connection.

It's personal connection.

It's nostalgic.

Yeah, my grandma did the same thing, by the way.

Yeah.

Not the cookies, but made a whole bunch of cookies and frozen and brought up the ice cream bucket.

Ice cream bucket.

Exactly the same.

Yes.

I'm pretty sure my mom only ate ice cream so she'd have those buckets.

Buckets.

The buckets are fantastic.

I can't eat that much ice cream.

I would die.

My family did the Ritz thing with the peanut butter, but they didn't take it to the dip in a chocolate one.

Oh, you absolutely should.

That's a good idea.

That's so good.

But yeah, these cookies are great.

These are my favorite when I was a kid.

Yeah.

By far, these were my favorite when I was a kid.

As a grown older, my palate has become more sophisticated.

No, I still love them.

They're still great.

What about you, James?

They're not bad.

If that's what you're looking for.

Again, peanut butter and a cookie.

Yeah.

You're favorite thing.

We do have Laura's top three here since she's not able to be with us for this.

She had, and I'll go from third to a top.

So number three, PB sandwich.

Okay.

All right.

That was the oatmeal with the peanut butter in the middle.

Yeah.

Number two, toasty A's.

Yeah.

And at number one, lemonade.

She loves the lemonade.

She loves the lemonade cookies.

Hmm.

It was a great one.

Again, we'll keep this going the whole hour, everybody.

If you want to call up, let us know or text us what your favorites are.

We'd love to hear from you.

And again, nothing tastes better than supporting our local Girl Scouts and these kids and what they're doing out there.

And the impact you can make on their future.

Yes.

The biggest entrepreneurial organization out there.

That's right.

Let's take a phone call before we go to break.

I've heard your Google business lifting.

What's your favorite Girl Scout cookie?

I've heard her drinkings.

What's your favorite Girl Scout cookie?

Real person.

Real person.

Answer the question.

Real person.

Answer the question.

Can't handle the truth.

We'll be back with more morning stuff.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Melissa Seth and James here with you.

Hope you're having a great Wednesday out there.

Happy hump day.

We've got Pam's list of her girl Scout cookies.

Yay.

At number two, Thin Mints.

Very good.

Yeah.

That's a good one.

And at number one, Carmel Delights.

There you go.

Very nice.

Those are popular.

Pam, you have as many as you want of those.

Is your birthday?

That's what you call it.

We're diving into entertainment news now.

Just a handful of stories I wanted to touch on.

And one of the things that's been kind of cool with the SNL 50, the 50th year celebration

they've been having over a Saturday life is some of the stories that have been coming out

from the big presentation, the big show that they did with the music numbers.

And then the actual live show that they did celebrating 50 seasons.

You heard us talking about it.

Many of you might have seen it.

Had a lot of guest stars from years past.

A lot of former cast members.

And a lot of people that just wanted to be a part of it.

Jason Momoa has hosted Senate Live.

Been on there a number of times.

Became like everybody that Jason Momoa meets.

Became friends with the cast and Lauren Michaels and all these people.

So of course he was going to be there for part of this event.

But he said he was going to be there anyway.

Like even if Lauren didn't invite him.

Is this going to show up?

Because quote, I'm such a fanboy.

We were at SNL 50, which was a huge honor to be there.

What a wild crazy night.

I met so many people.

And then Meryl Streep walked past me.

And my lady and I was like, baby, it's Meryl Streep.

And I was like, I got to say something.

So he went up to her and to talk to her.

But to be fair, Meryl is not one of the greatest actresses.

They're not the greatest actor in the world today.

Jason Momoa was incredibly nervous.

He had no idea how to talk to a fanboy.

He didn't know how to start a conversation with her.

So he's backstage and he's getting makeup put on.

And he's getting set and ready for his sketch.

And he's about a minute or two out from going out and doing it.

When Meryl Streep pops into the room, sees him and stops immediately.

And looks at him and says, oh my god, I'm a big fan of yours.

I really like the work that you're doing.

And Jason Momoa turns into a 13-year-old boy.

Looks at her and I can't say exactly what he said.

But he said, oh my god, you know who I am?

He was genuinely freaked out about this.

He's still talking about it.

He's still talking about it.

Like to anybody that'll listen.

Meryl seemed my work.

Meryl Streep knows who I am.

I love the idea.

Yeah, I love the idea.

Not only is he like a giant star, you know?

Launches movies and things like that.

He's one of the most distinctive looking people in Hollywood.

Yes, you know when it's Jason.

He's just a giant guy, you know?

And it's like, I love that though.

He's like, what?

She knows me?

One of my favorite images is seeing Jason Momoa walking around with bodyguards.

Like the smaller than him, right?

Yeah, the smaller than him.

Yeah.

It's a great story.

Again, just one of those stories that remind you that they are just human beings.

Exactly.

We just keep her head up.

Speaking of Saturday Live, I've got to catch up on SNL and saw Jack Blacks perform hosting.

And he's hosted before and it's been 20 years since he did it.

I mentioned this to somebody else and a friend of mine and I thought, I don't know if this is an insult or not.

But I cannot stress that I mean it with all respect.

I saw Lady Gaga hosting a little while ago too.

And I don't have a bunch of her songs in my playlist or anything like that.

But I am a big fan of her talent.

I'm a big fan of greatness.

I love watching greatness on any level.

Regardless of him a fan of not or if I like the music or not.

And she is just very impressive to me.

She is a fearless performer and is going to go out there and be herself.

No air is none of that.

And I see Jack Black come out and it's been 20 years since he done live theater or anything like this.

And he comes out there and it just owns that stage.

There's no hesitation.

There's no arms.

There's no not like that.

And I'm watching and I'm like, he doesn't have a script.

There's no teleprompter.

No.

He just goes out there and does it.

And every single sketch, there's no teleprompter.

He's just out there and memorized his lines.

He got out there now.

Wow.

Not every sketch was great.

Not everything was funny.

But it was just impressive to me to watch him do this.

And Jack Black is just such a darn good performer.

He's so built for this and such a good entertainer.

And he has always been this.

What I'm watching is no different than when I first saw him in a Kevin Smith movie or on Mr. Show with Bob and Dave or anything like that.

It's really cool to see a guy who has done things the right way, I think, has handled his career very well.

And the whole time, Jack Black.

He's been Jack Black the whole time.

You may not like Jack Black, but he's been this the whole time.

He's never been anything other than that.

And I think that it is noteworthy that his look has pretty much stayed the same.

Which is not always the comment with things.

So John Krasinski is people magazine sexiest man alive.

But when it's time to pass the torch, could it be to Jack Black?

A people staffer named Rachel McRattie has made it her mission to make that happen.

I love this.

She says, quote, the man is a triple threat who can sing, dance, and act his face off.

Yep.

He's got the movies of a jungle cat, the moves of a jungle cat, absolute genius comedic timing, and that signature devilish grin.

Yeah.

She even thinks he's a superior love interest to Jude Law in the romantic film The Holiday, which they both start and became friends.

Wow, yeah.

She also notes that he's a devoted family man.

He's awesome to his fans, and he does a lot of charity work.

Yeah.

Boy, I tell you what, I love that whole, everything she just said, that's really great.

There is nothing, I think.

Maybe more actors should do this.

There's nothing that will keep you humble, more humble, than going on the road, and playing live in front of audiences constantly.

Which is what he's done with his band and on his own and all that kind of stuff.

As a musician, he has to do that, and I got to think that has something to do with it.

Yeah.

To keep you humble, man.

You're putting yourself out there constantly.

You're not, you know, like, and I know a lot of actors are a theater, but a lot of them don't.

They just do movies and stuff, and that's very easy to protect yourself without getting out there and getting your older.

It's a layer away from the fans, whereas Jack's been going in and interacting with fans.

Yes.

Yes.

Or people.

It's just a general fans, just people.

My only catch to this is they should have done it years ago.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He already should have done this.

Yeah.

He already should have had this.

But this is also speaking to the change of culture in Hollywood and how it's being, we don't have to fit a certain stereotype to be considered sexy and loved.

You know, we're being more, more, I don't know, reflective of the people that watch the movies,

that live here that are, I mean, aren't, you know, just...

What's actually attractive, right?

Yes.

That's what they're saying.

What is actually attractive?

And it's not just looks.

Yeah.

Right.

It's not just how it comes to looks.

It's, you know, respecting your fans.

It's all of these things.

These are attractive traits.

Yes.

Having family values.

Yeah.

Having a care and empathy for other people.

There you go.

Also being funny.

I like the idea of rewarding all of those things.

You guys mentioned there along with the fact of what you landed on there, Melissa, that he's incredibly talented.

Yeah.

And all this comes together.

And the idea that that is part of how you get successful in life is treating people right.

Mm-hmm.

It's true.

It should be one of the staples of moving on in your career or building a career.

Exactly.

So to me, he's done it the right way and earns it just in that regard.

Oh, so handsome guy.

I think he is.

And every time I talk about who you would want to have at your Christmas or your dinner party or who you want to invite over, my answer is always Jack Black.

There you go.

It's a good choice.

We'll see if they make the good choice.

I think November they're saying is when they announce that and everything.

Melissa, I wanted to wrap up just touching base with you and the cast and crew of noises off.

You guys are a couple of weeks away from opening night.

Yes.

We're trying to get off book this week.

And my cast is just doing fantastic, you guys.

And we've had a couple little hiccups with some illnesses and things like that.

But that's inevitable.

That happens.

It happens.

And especially this time of year.

So we're powering through.

And we're going on and moving along.

But I'm so proud of them.

They are doing so fantastic.

Excellent.

And the getting off book, the characters are starting to develop.

We're starting to throw in some fun added things as their books get out of their hands and the props come into play.

And it's really coming along.

I'm so excited for audiences to see this.

They crack me up every single night.

Love it.

It's so good.

That's one of the greatest feelings of when you can make your director, your cast members still laugh.

Even a couple of weeks into rehearsal and everything.

That's a great staple.

And when people are able to start thinking a little bit more on stage or feeling a little bit more.

Not worrying so much about what your line is and able to think more about what your actions are or your facial expressions.

Like those things are really starting to come out.

It's such an exciting time.

Love it.

I'm very, very excited for you guys.

And we cannot wait.

Be sure to get your tickets right now, wrctheater.org, get those tickets.

And keep in mind that you can pick out your seats.

You know what's available.

You can pick out your seat there and everything.

And this is wrapping up the 50th year of WRCT.

It's so amazing.

It's amazing.

Very proud of that.

Very proud of everybody involved at WRCT over the years.

And we appreciate them.

Noise is off from here.

It's May 1st at 7 o'clock.

I'll have a show on the second.

And a 2 o'clock matinee on the third.

May 8th and 9th.

They'll come back and do it all over again at 7.

And then they will wrap up that Saturday at May 10th with a 2 o'clock matinee.

Yeah.

Get your tickets now.

wrctheater.org.

Go over there and get them everybody.

We'll be back after our news, sports and partner break with more morning show here at WFHR.

Welcome back everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Locally grown radio.

Melissa, Seth and James here with you.

We hope you're having a fantastic day out there.

Let's go ahead and have some fun right now everybody.

Because we're going to get into an interesting one.

What are this, the headline for this one is what's in quote old person habit.

You've adopted because it's actually a really good idea.

All right.

Now there are, let me see here, there are 16 of these.

Whoa.

All right.

We'll probably burn through a couple of them and everything.

But we are going to be keeping track.

And I love that you've got a scorecard ready.

This is awesome.

Well done.

For every one of these that we do, we'll mark a point.

Okay.

I think that's the best way to do this and everything.

And again, audience participation is always encouraged.

Keep your own score at home.

Everybody out there got the morning show play at home.

That is your radio and that is the civic media app.

Go ahead and text us anytime.

I especially want to hear from people who are older and don't do these things.

Hey.

Maybe you'll even be actually younger than us.

I was so much older than I'm younger than that now.

Oh wow.

I like that, I like that.

And these are in no particular order.

So we'll just start right at number one with doing weekend errands before noon to beat the crowds.

No, I don't do that.

I should.

But I don't.

I do mind during the week to beat the crowds.

Okay.

Well, does that count?

Does that count?

What about James?

What do you mean?

So I don't know if this counts or not.

Is anybody else like this?

And I've been like this for at least the last couple of years.

If I'm going out, I want to get done every single thing I need done.

Yeah.

And I won't go out usually for like one thing.

Like I'll wait.

Unless you really need that one.

Yeah, yeah.

So I tried it and I will also navigate this in my head to where I'm closest to things.

We need to get in the order that makes the most sense.

Yeah, absolutely.

I don't know about getting before noon or worrying about crowds.

And we don't really have to worry about that as much here.

Oh, no, yeah.

No.

I guess we do.

Like don't go to the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon.

Yeah, those then it's because it's all picked over and it's busy.

Yeah.

So I mean, I don't know.

Do any of us get a point for that?

No, I don't think so.

I don't think so.

No.

Eating early dinners, you get better sleep if your food is properly digested.

Again, something I should probably do.

Yeah, I do not do it though.

Something I did before I was directing this play.

So I don't know.

Do I get a point?

I think we'll give her a point.

That's a point for her.

Ignoring the clock, eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired.

Oh, man.

Wish I could do that.

My body just does that.

Yeah.

I'll ask it to do that.

I do that.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm taking a point.

I'm giving Melissa a point.

Okay, good.

One, there we go.

All right.

Using lap blankets and heated blankets.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

I love my lap blankets.

I have one in every room.

My feet.

I don't know.

It doesn't even make it to my lap.

It's my feet.

I got frostbite in my feet.

Oh.

So my feet are always wrapped up in a blanket almost if I can.

All right.

We know what to get Tim for Christmas.

It's hot.

It's hot.

Battery powered.

But, honestly, that might make me cry.

Like, that's a great gift.

That's a great gift.

Switching to...

Oh, boy.

Switching to comfortable clothes indoors like slippers and sweatpants.

Absolutely.

Yes.

I got to mark that one down for me.

The only reason I don't do that is because I hate changing.

Oh, sure.

So, like, I'm in this for the duration of the day.

You'll just take the discomfort.

I will.

Because you hate changing that much.

I do.

I respect that.

I don't...

I don't like...

So, I don't...

I guess this goes back to being a kid and everything and maybe some trauma there.

I don't like changing clothes if I don't have to because I don't want a dirty or...

You know, waist, laundry or waist.

There's a point there too.

Yeah.

Something like that.

If I put this shirt on, I feel like, oh, I got to get 24 hours out.

I got to get...

You know, 12 hours out of it or whatever.

Sure, yeah.

That being said, I've heard this...

And I've only...

I'm only using this comparison because both my mother and sister have said it.

That the female equivalent of taking your bra off when you get home.

For me, is throwing on my Adidas or sweatpants or something like that.

I ain't leaving.

I'm in for the day.

This is my...

My job now is getting comfortable.

All right.

I look forward to every opportunity I have to be knowing that.

I'm in for the day.

Adidas on.

Like that...

I'm getting comfortable.

And also, James, those comfy clothes that you only wear for what?

Three hours in the evening?

You can wear them again the next day.

Yes, you can, yes, you can.

You don't have to wash them right away.

I actually do my best to keep them clean just so I can keep wearing them.

But I don't have to rewash them, but everything else.

That's a good one.

I think we don't get a point for that.

Well, that's something.

That's something.

But yeah, I haven't got any points yet.

No, no.

So far, you're the youngest of all of us.

Loser.

Wanting to stay home, others can come to me.

Yes.

100%.

Yeah, that is everybody.

Yeah, that is all of us.

Melissa, you're up to five, by the way.

There we go.

And I think that's a more of a consistent one as we get older.

Using clothes captioning on everything you watch.

Yep.

No.

Yeah.

I don't do that.

Yeah.

No.

I don't like it.

I find it distracting.

Yeah.

I find it that the sound on different shows is very much crapshoot these days.

Yeah.

That's true.

And sometimes they drown out the dialogue.

Sometimes they do.

It just makes it so understanding is a little bit better for me.

Plus, I like reading things.

I just don't watch that much TV.

And I don't prefer to read my TV.

So I read books.

Why not?

I read books.

That's a lot of reading TV.

One of my biggest complaints with modern movies is this idea that in order to make things

so realistic and so relatable, that the sound has to be the way it would be in person.

That's not dumb.

That's not dumb.

It's dumb.

It's an idea.

Then you get the Creed music video.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Or they zoom in.

You do the words.

And then you zoom in and you hear the drums.

I think it's bad directing.

I do.

It really destroys me crazy.

I turn the brightness up on my movies.

Yes.

Because they make them too dark.

Yes.

I watch this.

Yes, they do.

It drives you crazy too because most of these things when you see it, it's like billion dollar

movies.

It's like movies that just have it in same budget.

A little care.

A little care.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I really do like foreign films, especially like a lot of the Kung Fu movies in the 70s,

and 80s and stuff like that.

I love watching those.

But the older I get, the harder it is for me to watch anything with closed captioning.

Well, I'm with humorless.

It's so distracting.

And it's a nightmare for me when all I want to do is dissect the scene.

And in the acting and the props and all these different things, but I can't take my eyes

off the words.

That's on me.

I'm not putting that on closed captioning.

That's more of my brain.

Now, if it's in another language, absolutely.

And I love watching foreign films that then have the closed captioning because I like hearing

it in the original language, which is just so cool.

Yeah.

I'm with you there.

Picking up sewing, crocheting, and knitting as a form of meditation.

Yes.

Me.

My whole life.

That's going to sick.

I don't know if this is a new age into it.

Do you want to know how many UFOs I have around my house?

No, no, you don't.

Some of these, I'm wondering.

And UFOs is unfinished objects.

Yes.

Are we born this way or do we age to this?

I am an old soul.

Yes.

Buying pill organizers on Amazon, they're convenient even for vitamins.

I have one.

I don't use it, but I have one.

Beth has gone to that now.

Yes.

She does organizers for all of her pills all the time.

I do not.

Okay.

I cannot.

I can't point for Beth even though she's not here.

Yeah.

Having paper printouts of stuff like vacation itineraries or directions.

Sure everything can go on your phone, but you're always digging through apps trying to find

it.

I prefer having paper copies.

Really?

No.

So I'm half and half on this.

I use my phone for a lot of things.

But there's certain stuff that I do like to have the paper copy of.

In particular, this job.

And having paper copies of the notes and different things there.

If I leave too much on my laptop and not only slows my laptop down, but it...

Oh, you can't find it quick enough.

And it gets lost.

It's not there and yeah.

I don't know.

Do we each get half a point for this?

Yes.

I think there's a half and half.

Point five.

Point five on both of them.

Now we're in that one.

Yes.

It's me doing it.

Of course it's going to be ridiculous.

Actually.

Having a plastic bag full of other plastic bags.

I do.

I have that.

Yes.

We all have that.

Actually, I saved those for our friend of ours who uses that as a dog.

Oh.

So it uses them as pooper scoopers.

Right.

We just give her a whole bunch of old bread.

I also...

I go so far as to organize my plastic bags and my plastic bags.

Oh, wow.

I wrap them up into handy, dandy little packages.

Nice.

Wow.

Next on the agenda.

Get Melissa life.

Yes.

We're going to work on that one.

We're going to work on that one.

Wow.

Lowering the volume while you're parallel parking.

I lower the volume whenever I need to focus.

Yes.

Same, same.

I feel like that's a close enough for us.

If I'm into...

I will say this one for me too.

Not when I'm parallel parking, but other times when I'm driving.

Mm-hmm.

If I'm going into an unknown area.

Right.

If you don't know where you're going.

You've got to turn off every sound.

You've got to turn it off so you can see.

Yes.

I listen to a lot of...

I don't get a chance to listen to a lot of music.

So in the car, that's when I usually get a chance.

And I listen to a lot of jazz in the car.

Not necessarily that distracting.

Not really, you know, that crazy.

You're not talking listening to heavy metal or anything.

Right.

Even that, I've got to turn down or turn off.

What is it about our brains that make us think this is going to help her?

Or is it too much at once?

Well, it's a focused thing.

Yeah.
